Graduate students and faculty are invited to this small-group conversation with visiting Professor Tsitsi Jaji. Seats are limited and an RSVP is required. To join the workshop, please send your name, title, or affiliation to: rsvp@humanities.wisc.edu. Light refreshments will be provided (pastries and coffee).
After you register, we’ll share an advance reading (an essay on anthologies in Zimbabwe). It’s not required that you read the essay in advance, but Professor Jaji will plan to discuss it with workshop attendees. The conversation is informal and she will also discuss a range of topics as they relate to attendees’ interests with authenticity and attention.
Tsitsi Jaji is Helen S. Bevington Associate Professor of Modern Poetry in the Departments of English and African & African American Studies at Duke University. She is the author of two poetry collections, Mother Tongues and Beating the Graves, and a scholarly book, Africa in Stereo: Music, Modernism, and Pan-African Solidarity. Her current research on poetry in global Black concert music is supported by a Mellon New Directions Fellowship.
